I understand it helps them sell all their ticket allotment, but they really ruined it making it so easy for people to enter the lottery and then dump tickets. When you were stuck with what you got, it made it so only those truly trying to attend would enter. 

Spot on with this take right here^^^^

And watch the number of threads that will pop-up that so many NEED to sell for various "reasons" when it gets closer to the shows.

Well if I don't get tickets in the lottery or pre sale, I will be checking out those threads!

Requested both shows. Hopefully selected for them but I know I’ll get in with F2F if I’m not selected. Flying solo as usual as my wife doesn’t understand the passion!  Booked the Omni and hopefully sightseeing and eating some local grub while I’m there. Open to recommendations.

It’s fine but it’s in a pretty boring area outside of town.. you’d have to uber to the show… or anything else you might want to do.

It's less than a 5 minute drive to downtown.  It's been around a long time and if it wasn't renovated in the last ten years pretty dated.

Probably gonna be a hard ticket to get, it being weekend shows and arena capacity is only 14,536 for concerts.

I was afraid of this when trying to determine whether to try for this or Nashville.

Can't afford to try for both.

I always read the reviews on Trip Advisor.  It has a decent overall score there but some of the reviews would make me decide to book elsewhere if it were me.

I wonder what the demand will look like for these shows.  Probably higher for Pittsburgh because of the weekend dates and proximity to all of those in the Northeast.  But they’ve also never done two shows in Pittsburgh before so is there enough demand to support it?  And then what about places like Raleigh?  Been thinking about trying for those two as well, but don’t want to get stuck with uppers if the demand is going to be lower and would just take my chances in F2F

Decided to put in for both shows at the last second. May is gonna be a busy month for sure.😁

My daughter graduates from college in NYC this same weekend, so even though it’s the closest show to me proximity wise, I doubt I’ll be able to make both,
Put in for N1 and if I get GA will pull an all nighter.

We’re planning to come up from Maryland and make a weekend out of it. First time in Pittsburgh. We have two little kids (not going to the shows) so will try and do some fun stuff on Saturday and Sunday.

This is made worse by TM not releasing exactly where the lottery section rows ends. There are some very decent upper locations and their terrible policy of taking money from fans without disclosing seat locations is made worse by not even disclosing what row p1 ends and p2 begins. There is no way to know if seats will be sellable on f2f. And as some have said, for members that have joined in the last 10-15 years, it's like TM just dumps them any ceiling tickets that there are no true "club sections". Terrible policy and the band should be insisting from tm more disclosure when they ask for fans money.

Agreed, but also, buyer beware in the draw.

This is the first tour I’ve done this, always annoyed me but just trying to raise my chances.  I’m gonna hate myself if I win most of what I’ve put in but it’s the game these days unfortunately

You could easily win all, especially if not trying for Florida.
